Texas Weekly; If the state scho-
lastic apportionment should be re-
duced next year by *s much as four
dollars a scholastic it will take away
from Texas mow than such a county
will “save in reduced ad valbwm
taxes on homesteads as a result of
the ^3000-exemption amendment.
This fact is beginning to dawn upon
some of the gentlemen who so fer-
vently advocated this great “tax re-
lief” measure befow the Legislature
and at the recent election. In some
rural school districts even two dol-
lars a scholastic will amount to as
much as the total homestead exemp-
tion, And it is estimated that the
total revenue the school fund will
lose as a result of the homstead ex-^
emption alone will be nearly two dol-
law a scholastic. Other sources of
revenue of the school fund have been
greatly reduced in yield and the fund
already has a big deficit. It seems
plain that unless the school fund is
provided with mow wvenue during
the next two years, it will be neces-
sary to cut the scholastic apportion-
ment by at least four #>llars per
scholastic. In that event, the average
farming school district will lose mow
in reduced scholastic apportionment
than'it will gain in reduced taxation
as a result of the homestead exemp-
tion. And many of them will lose
i twice*as much.

nineteen days of suffering
with the bullet wounds and many
complications it caused, Mayor An-
ton Cermak of Chicago, died in a hos-
pital in Miami, Florida, Monday from
a shot from an assassin’s gun which
intended for President Franklin
D. Roosevelt. The Dallas Morning
News of Tuesday contributed the fol-
lowing in an editorial regarding May-
or Cermak: ^
“Anton Cermak was born a for-
eigner and bore a name hard for
American tongues to master, but
death has made him forever Ameri-
can, even hsd he not been so by res-
idence, training and environment
from infancy. In a sense not litoral
or even logical, the spilling of his
blood wears the semblance of a liba-
tion to Liberty. For he who suffers
in the name of all suffers also in their

ables of clowning demagoguery, his
brief mayors! tenure will make some
merk upon the ennals of Chicago, but
we can not say what he might have
achieved. We only know the wreck-
age that he found and faced.
“Yet some seem born to die a sym-
bol tit what they nevdr thought to

text not of their own. choosing—sign-
posts en a road unsought by their
feet. Pilate was such a man, at one
end of the gamut; at the other, Edith
Csvell was such a woman. What fate
or providence it was that picked An-
ton Cermak to die in place of the in-
coming chief executive of the Amer-
ican republic we can not say or guess.
It is sufficient that when the assasin’s
missent bullet found his frame he
whispered joy that his own body bore
the hurt instead of that of his friend.
And in the few brief days between
the moment of that wound and the
surrender of his last breath Mayor
Cermak found a place in the Nation’s
heart reserved only for those who pay
fbr it at so great cost.”

Washington, March 7.—"I have no
blacklist of Democrats in Texas,” said
National Commiteeman Jed C. Adams
of Dallas, who came here for the in-
auguration. Mr. Adams let it be
known that as far as his recommen-
dations for office is applicable, he will
pass on the individual cases, but that
he has no sympathy for leaders in
revolt such as that of 1928.
State Chairman Maury Hughes, al-
so of Dallas, was in touch with Post-
master General Farley to protest
against appointment of anyone in
Texas who bolted the Democratic
ticket in any particular in 1928 or
1932, and that the protest extended
to appointment of postmasters.
“We are going to have a Demo-
cratic party in Texas if it is possible
and we believe that the loyal mem
bers of the party should be given rec
ognition in the offices,” said Mr.
Hughes. The protest of the state
chairman applied to those who bolt-
ed the nomination of Mrs. Ferguson,
aa well as the nomination of A1 Smith,
he said.
The administration leaders, how-
ever, are in no mood to talk about
patronage in Texas or any other
State, with the country fating its
present crisis, and many of those who
came to the inauguration expecting
to take their commissions home, are
departing to return at another time.
The administration is maflng such
appointments as it feels necessary to
keep the Government functioning and
